Realistically I think you have to negotiate extraordinary parachute payments to the clubs that are relegated, hand Liverpool the trophy and move on. There is no "good" solution. Any starting over, or running a combined season will unfairly rob some of the earned benefit of the matches they won this season. Just much easier and cleaner to call this one done and give the relegated clubs extra money not to make too much of a fuss.

In my mind that’s not workable. Be in court forever. I see all European leagues declaring this season null and void.

For istance look when Leeds got relegated and look at them now. How many clubs get relegated and never return? You could use their loss of earning as a starting point for compensation. 15 years worth of premier league money please.

Anybody who gets relegated needs to have played 38 games.

This season is consigned to the history books as a non event. Even next season could be affected by this. I don’t think we can assume this disease will just disappear overnight. To start the new season in August seems unlikely based on what I hear.

This all should serve as a reminder there are things much more important than football. Fuck trophies or parachute payments.

2019/20 is done. It has to be. No overall winner in domestic leagues. Essentially void, non-runners. Restart at 2020/21 as it was for the beginning of 2019/20.

As for European competition that's a bit trickier in my opinion. It might not be as easy to get that going and in honesty I think it would be appropriate just to pick it all up from where it left off when they can; even if that means no group stage games for a year... and obviously means we do a year with no European football.

Not the most important thing right now, but not sure if people get their money back from placing bets on the final outcome of the season. Plenty of variables on bets which open up a can of worms.
Left for another day to worry about though for those involved.

Where's the Kaboom?

I doubt it, but you never know, maybe this might have some long-term positive effects like cheaper tickets for the average fan, cheaper Sky subscriptions, etc.

I still can't believe some people are talking about 'freezing' the season as it finished and starting again. Utterly absurd idea which is totally unworkable and the lawyers will, quite rightly, have a field day.

Only realistic option for me is to void the whole thing. It never existed. (I'd reluctantly say the same even if we were top). Start domestic football again whenever it's feasible. European football is a different matter. Maybe no European competitions at all next season? Finish off the remainder of this one next year? Or re-boot as was with Spurs back in the CL!

Must say though, that football is very much at the back of my mind. Any dippers who keep harping on about it really need to look in the mirror.

Nope. We are spurs fans. We would all be like I knew this would happen. Man City in the cup. United in the league. Losing the league to Leicester fucking city.
Handball in the first minute of the CL final....... FFS.

Not me. Season is disrupted and tainted by death so quite frankly I wouldn't give a fuck if it meant Spurs being denied. Would be just typical I'd think. More important shit. And fuck just handing Liverpool anything. They haven't won shit mathematically and should not be given any special dispensation - nor would many dippers want it that way. 'And keep status quo for the rest'. You're talking utter bollocks.
